ALPINE GUARD HEMA CUP 2026: SABER & SIDESWORD

With the love for saber and sidesword steadily growing across Switzerland, we’re excited to bring the community together for a fantastic weekend of fencing, learning, and good company in Zürich. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or just looking to test your skills in a friendly environment, everyone is welcome.

THE TOURNAMENTS (SATURDAY)

We are hosting two fully rated Hemagon events—saber and sidesword—packed into a single day of fencing. It’s a great opportunity to cross blades with fencers from all over and celebrate the growing historical fencing scene.

THE WORKSHOP (SUNDAY)

After a full day of competition, we’re shifting gears to training. We are thrilled to host an exclusive saber workshop led by Giordano Moreni, one of the top saber fighters in the scene today. This is a unique chance to refine your technique and learn from the best.
